Nonetheless, even because the youthful additions of the draft are simply over the horizon, groups proceed to judge issues internally, together with gamers recovering from 2023 accidents and offseason surgical procedures, in addition to getting first seems to be at free agent signings.

For the Seattle Seahawks, this contains the previous Professional Bowl guard the group introduced on Monday it had signed, Laken Tomlinson. And whereas the Hawks are getting their first have a look at Tomlinson in individual as a member of the group, followers are actually capable of get their first have a look at the main points of the contract he signed.

As Bob Condotta of the Seattle Occasions notes in his put up, the $1.21M base wage of Tomlinson’s contract is a far cry from the unique “as much as $4M” reporting of the deal.
